the upside...

b/c i'm an eternal optimist, here are a few postive points about having a new found ability to, almost simulatneously, cough up a lung and blow all sorts of nastiness out your nose .

- medicine doesn't wanna leave your system. or maybe it's the fact that you just keep taking more, despite the warning labels. either way, perma-loopy is a happy happy state.
- who needs anna and her trimspa(tm) when you've got little-to-no appetite.
- adding a splash of whiskey to your tea and honey (read: splash of tea and honey to your whiskey) not only aids the healing process but it keeps that perma-loopy thing going even longer.
- all couch all day. and you don't even have to feel guilty about being a bum.
- naps. whenever you want. however long you'd like. (aided in part by my bestest friend, nyquil) awesome.
- people are much more willing to do things for you. so what if it's out of pity and/or they're hoping you won't actually take them up on the offer.
- medicine + fever + crack-cocaine= finally a valid excuse for your delusions and random, slightly spastic, nature.

p.s. it's normal not to feel your outer extremities. isn't it?
